• Artist Training Grounds: Mock War, Final Gallery


    It's over! It's done! Hurray and huzzah! Congratulations and good work, everypony. With the weekend calling, it's time to go home, and you've chosen to go out with a bang! A bang? Like "!" or like this? No, like 294 ponies and the places they call home. For those of you keeping track at home, that's a grand total of 1771 submissions! That's one heck of a five day total!

    None of this would have been possible without the help of a lot of ponies. Ponies like Sethisto, who puts up with my shenanigans in the first place and planted the seeds for this event with that poll of his. Reinboom, of course, for pulling my flank out of the fire and giving you a place to send your ponies. Cereal and PK for making sure I stayed energetic and engaged no matter what. And last but far from least, each and every one of you. These events take a lot out of all of us, and it just thrills me to no end to see you all keeping pace and working as hard as you have. You put up with a lot of problems, and you cranked out some amazing stuff. Good work, everypony?

    A final spark of light spits out of the portal, now closed forever. Whether you left or stayed, this place no longer is the bustling center of activity it once had been, save for a few tired looking ponies in party hats cleaning up and packing it all away. The question lingers: what now?

    But you knew the answer before you asked it. Move forward. Take the momentum and the memories of all of the things you've accomplished in this short time, and show the world exactly what you're made of.  Just days ago, you were sure you couldn't, but now... now you know you can. The sun shines on a brand new day. What challenges will you conquer next?


    Roads go ever ever on,
    Over rock and under tree,
    By caves where never sun has shone,
    By streams that never find the sea;
    Over snow by winter sown,
    And through the merry flowers of June,
    Over grass and over stone,
    And under mountains in the moon.
    Roads go ever ever on
    Under cloud and under star,
    Yet feet that wandering have gone
    Turn at last to home afar.
    Eyes that fire and sword have seen
    And horror in the halls of stone
    Look at last on meadows green
    And trees and hills they long have known.

    1. IN ARTIST TRAINING GROUND I LEARNED:

      BLANKETY

      But seriously, I was in over my head.

    2. I think I felt a heart attack coming as I scrambled to put mine together for tonight. Not only was I out of ideas & seriously strapped for time today, but I had to help my sister out with a project of her own. Artists, I don't know how you guys do it. You've always had my respect, and now even more so. Rant over, # 224 is mine, but this time I seriously mean it. Expect garbage. I may as well have thrown paint on a piece of paper and submitted that.

      Well Phoe, you have done quite a feat. You have managed to bring together hundreds of bronies from their hiding places and brought them out to see the glories of art. Those thank you's are pretty good, too

    6. Is it possible we are going to do another one of these in the near future?

    7. @CityFlyer502 I actually thought you did pretty good. ^_^

    8. This is it. The final reviews. *Sniff*

      @BlankFlankBrony
      Loved this comic. Way to close it all out. Though it definitely looks like none of these ponies know where to go from here.

      @SenakySam
      I'm sure that's a sight this pony has been longing to see for a while. Loved your layout of Ponyville and Canterlot in the distance.

    10. #18 is tied up at the moment but I'm glad t have um.... Served... Well anyway.

    11. @Nickvicious Ugh. Believe me. This was my weakest effort. Thanks for the kind words, but I myself am so unhappy with it.

      @Brandon According to their Facebook page, something did come up and they're working on it.

      ReplyDelete
    12. I posted mine exactly at 10:00 (deadline in my timezone) so hopefully it'll go up soon. We've come a long way guys. :D Awesome work, everypony. I'll have to catch up on giving feedback...tomorrow, I'm tired after rushing to my submission. X_X And I mean RUSHING.

    13. #68 here! Had alot of fun the last five days, now its time to take a bit of a break. =D I look forward to more events like this. Here's my gallery if you want to take a look :) http://mikoruthehedgehog.deviantart.com/gallery/

    14. Guys? What the Hell happened to FimFiction?

      ReplyDelete
    15. Mine is 245. I gotta say I had fun with this. I will likely upload a picture with better lighting either tonight or tomorrow on my DA account because well the picture on my notebook is nice looking under great lighting. I will continue to draw ponys but probably not on a rapid pace like this since I may get burned out doing it for days at a time. I will say that this has gotten me back interested into drawing after not doing since the late 90's.

    16. @Brandon

      Yes, I was about to post. It sends me to some camera circuitry site. Odd...

      Oh my! The mares must be desperate to be doing that! Please tell me this has a favorable outcome for both sides...

      ReplyDelete
    27. Alright. My piece is #277. I rushed this comic (my first one) so please critique with a little mercy if you do so. Thanks. I might be kinda cheesy, but I tried to see how I could handle emotion with the characters so I'd appreciate feedback on that.

      ReplyDelete
    28. im 137. this is the first piece of art i've ever done and i think it actually turned out nice for a first attempt.

      ReplyDelete
    29. First off, I'd just like to say thank you Phoe. Thank you so much for not only this event, but for everything you do for us.

      Back during the first ATG back in (summer/September?) I remember each night as the pics came in droves that I wish I could also take part. Needless to say I was far too shy and scared to do anything, and when it ended I felt so terrible, as if I missed something great.
      I was so happy when this ATG was announced, I swore to myself that I'd participate and low and behold here I am at the end of it having made a pic for each day. I've drawn more this week than the rest of my life combined and it feels great.

      Suddenly I feel like I've rambled too long sorry about that.

      #142 here, I worked on bettering perspective and angles. I did better, but I'm noticing mistakes. Ah well, practice makes perfect.
      I'd like to think I've improved over the course of this event. At least I hope I have.
      I enjoyed this week so much that I'm definitely going to continue drawing, and finally put months of ideas to paper.

      Thank you again for being so great!

      (now on to looking at all of today's entries)

      ReplyDelete
    30. Aaah, that was fun. I'm looking forward to the next ATG already! Some of these were really heartwarming! I loved #36, #37 and #186 in particular. Mine was #123, but eh, it didn't come out to well compared to what I had in mind.

      ReplyDelete
    31. Art is art... but sad and happy art.

      Also Phoe stop playing with yarn balls, that's not how you attract Lyra's.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Wasn't expecting to see mine up so soon, since I was forced to email it (accursed Database Errors!). Phoe works fast!

      I really would have liked to do more than a Pony/Gears of War thing, but I had less than two hours. It didn't come out anything like I wanted it. :/

      Awesome work everywhere else, though. I enjoyed following different artists from day 1 to day 5, and watching their progress. The newbie artists are the whole point of the event, so let's all give them a big round of applause!

      (and applaud Phoe too, she deserves it more than anybody)

      ReplyDelete
    33. This was really fun, even though we did lose a few good men along the way... These open ended submissions are awesome! I hope there is more to come in the future! Mine's #242 go hit it up! Thanks Phoe and every pony for such a sweet five days!

      ReplyDelete
    36. Didn't make it tonight because I had classes all day from 11:00 to 8:00 :P Ah well. It's been a blast, and the few drawings I put out were more than I've ever done :)

      I'm going to miss this... I've always wanted to draw, but I didn't know how to start. This event gave me a reason to try :) It may have been chaotic and nerve-wracking trying to put out a new picture every day, but I loved every minute of it.

      Thank you to all of you who participated and made this event what it was :) It couldn't have happened without each and every one of you. It's been a great experience, and I hope many of you continue to draw in the future.

      And finally, thank you Phoe, for everything you did in hosting this event. Thanks for the inspiration, and for the opportunity to contribute something to the fandom. I may not be amazing, but I've learned I can create something of my own, and I'm going to keep at it. Maybe I'll make the drawfriend someday :)

      It's been fun, and I hope we do this again sometime soon! :)

    37. Yaaaaay I made it in! I'm #281!
      This edition is particularly heartwarming and sweet, and there's so many awesome/funny/well-done pieces! I srsly envy you guys and your superior art skills :\ but I'm just kidding here, we did great! ^^
      Again, thank you Phoe. This is the first ATG I participate in, and it's been amazing. I finally learned the true power of motivation and deadlines :p and I surely have improved some since I started this.
      So, thanks again. It's been a good ride, and all thanks to you. ^^

      ReplyDelete
    38. @Vera I would say it's more reminiscing than rambling. I wasn't even here during the summer, though from browsing the site I found out about it. So I was also excited when this was announced. I'm not all that confident in my abilities myself. But seeing all the amazing art put out by the community inspired me to try and give back myself. I'm wiped out, but I'm so glad I did this...hehe. Looks like I'm doing a bit of rambling..er..reminiscing myself.

      Now for your picture, this is so adorable. They must have been totally exhausted to just collapse right there at their doorstep. Nothing more heartwarming than mother and daughter. Fantastic work on this one.

      ReplyDelete
    39. Off topic, but does anypony know what happened to FiMFiction?

      ReplyDelete
    40. So much art. Huge event this was and I think it was a major major success. And that poem at the bottom there is very nice. Oh, wait... it appears to be a song from The Hobbit. Now I feel stupid. I love that book and movie.

      #68 D'awwww, a sweet Trixie pic. I'm glad to see some town welcoming Trixie home. I'm guessing it must be her hometown. :)

      #117 And I completely agree. This image is just beautiful in so many ways.

      #142 Lmao. It seems Berry hardly even got inside the door before collapsing from exhaustion. Poor thing. Pinchy simply curled up with her, d'awwwww. <3

      #200 Haha! Oh, that silly Seth...

      #219 Oh, Phoe. You and your silliness when it comes to getting tangled in pretty much any kind of rope, twine, yarn, string... pretty much anything used in such a manner as them. :P The faces in this one are just too much. And by that, I mean hilarious.

      I also see many pictures based off that famed kissing shot after WW2. Very nice. It's one of the images that first comes to mind when I think of soldiers coming home.

      ReplyDelete
    41. Unable to participate due to working a double shift. But everyone's stuff are amazing. I would like to thank Phoe for planning such a wonderful event and getting me out of my artistic shell

      Btw ill be tossing up my last day submission on my DAY page when I can. Cheers everpony

    46. 279 here. Again thanks to Phoe and the community for giving me and us bronies the chance to contribute.This has been a real treat to draw for this event and has been the first push into drawing ponies. Thanks again and hope to pull out the pen again soon.

      ReplyDelete
    47. It's finally over. Time to put down the pen for a while. Now I can go finally and live a normal life once again.

      ReplyDelete
    48. #59 here, took a while to make this picture, but I was determined to do a picture with all of the mane 6 (even if it meant cutting a few corners).

      Well that's it I guess. This event has been been a great success, so thanks again.

      Now I think it's time for a rest.

    49. Well, party is over. Time to go back to work.

    51. #189 is me.

      This part of the event had a special impact on me. I have been to war, and I know what it's like to come home. I seriously feel like crying right now because of how wonderful of a feeling these drawings have brought me. Thank you everypony, and please don't stop drawing. Keep improving.

      I love all of you.

      Not exactly the place for this (though thanks for keeping us in the loop)

      There is a message on the site that saying someone tried the hack it. They are currently checking if there was anything serious done like data loss so all we can do is wait. :/

      ReplyDelete
    57. I wish i could draw decent art. Since I cannot, I shall describe down in writing the picture I wish to portray. Being in the Army, this is something I could easily see.
      The first panel would be of a group of ponies eagerly looking down the road, towards the mountains.
      A group of soldiers would be seen, towing with them wagons with their provisions.
      Focus on a young colt and his mother smiling at the soldiers, looking for the one they call family.
      Then they look at the wagons, and notice the large boxes that are carried in them.
      The mother holds a hoof to her mouth, the colt proceeds closer to the wagon, to read the name he only knows so well .
      Last panel, sorrowful soldiers standing behind the colt as he cries onto the casket

      ReplyDelete
    58. @CityFlyer502
      Thank you, for making me feel a little better about that. And I'm glad you liked it ^^
      And I wouldn't have even dared to try to draw all the animals you did! I have enough trouble with ponies!

      ReplyDelete
    59. @Tiddilywinkus
      I wouldn't, if you looked at my pic which was #133 by the way.

      Oh and Dusty (the janitor's) comic was hilarious as always.

      ReplyDelete
    60. And there was great sadness as this event came to an end, but rejoicing at the future and the lessons that had come. And a bunch of random comments to go with it. Primarily about FIMfiction, but some of them had to deal with what was at hand.

    61. Numbah 255, resigning from active duty.

      Well everypony, it was a long grueling week.
      Tears were shed, pencils were broken, and minds were worn down to their gray matter.
      But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

      Congratulations to everyone, I loved all the submissions. See ya next Training Grounds.

    62. @SolidSt33d

      Sorry, I didn't know where else to post it. I don't know anyone's email that admins EqD offhand. I just felt it needed to get out before there was panic is all.

      ReplyDelete
    63. @Vera It just wouldn't have been a home coming without some animals there. Compared to the ponies, they were relatively easy. I actually had a grand finale planed, but I had to scrap it since my abilities aren't where my thoughts are quite yet.

      ReplyDelete
    64. This was just a fantastic event! I hope that there are more in the future.

      ReplyDelete
    65. I made someone cry! Yay! (#52)

      Seriously, all I could think of for this last one was Jarhead and the Hurt Locker.

    66. Just a few of the ones I like:
      #39. Saw this earlier today on Ponibooru and its still very adorable.
      #163. I had to stifle a laugh there.
      #186. I absolutely love this
      #190. Haha, well played. Really like the lineart. Oh Bonbon you know you love her enthusiasm!
      #227. Made me a slight bit sad, still, very nice.
      #272. Just another day crusading? At least she's smiling!
      #273. I laughed and felt bad at the same time.

      Great job by everypony! I'd call the mock war a rousing success!

      ReplyDelete
    67. 179 Here. I didn't come up with an idea until a few hours before the deadline, so I had to rush to get it finished in time. It seems completely out of place here.

      Incredible work everypony! You all did a great job and we had a huge turnout! Thank you Phoe for everything you've done for us!

      Also, why are so many ponies injured, missing limbs, or worse, if this was a mock war with baked goods and suction cups?

      ReplyDelete
    68. Well, I wanted to finish this out, so I threw something together (in literally ten minutes :P) and submitted it. Whether Phoe posts it or not, I'm happy I did :)

      Thanks again to everyone that participated! It was a blast! :D

      ReplyDelete
    69. @Yelliaes Being in the Army myself, first, thank you for your service. We don't hear that enough.

      Second, I know that story all too well... Grand words.

    70. WOOOO!! Good job everypony! I wish I could have done something for the last day but my laptop got a virus, GAH!

    71. It's been wonderful spending time with you all, and getting to see you grow and practice and try new things. Now I, who have put off dinner for 5 days in a row until late submissions finished trickling in, need to stop punishing my body and go eat.

      I'll be back to collect one last roundup of your work after I get back from dinner with Reinboom.

    76. I have to say, this whole event was awesome... I'm sorry I was unable to participate throughout the week, but I had a blast checking out each daily post and scrolling through all of the imaginative scenes.

    79. #287, that's me.

      These two ponies just don't give a damn, cause they're hardcore like that. They're keeping their fake weapons, though.

      Only had enough time for ink, but I might color later...

      Thanks again for the amazing event, Phoe!

    81. #165 here. =) Thank you Phoe, Seth, Reinboom and everypony else who was able to make this possible. It's been really fun making all sorts of drawings and pictures as well as checking out the creative artwork that has been made by such great artists! I'm looking forward to the next ATG in the future. =)

      ReplyDelete
    82. 266 here any tips for me? i was rushed btw.

      ReplyDelete
    83. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

      Mine's at #234. I can't say I'm proud of the quality, but I am proud that I still managed to submit something even after I lost the original when Sumo Paint crashed while saving. It would have been horrible to participate in all of these except the last, which probably has the best gallery of all.

      This whole experience was really wonderful. It was hard working with my (low) level of expertise, I spent nearly all the free time I had this week to make sure I met the deadlines, but I haven't regretted a second of it. I was ecstatic with each of these updates, because now, I wasn't just looking from the sidelines, I was part of the (huge) team that made it possible.

      Thank you Phoe, for giving us all this opportunity. Thank you bronies, for sharing your work with the rest of us. If I could, I would reward you all with cake. And THAT'S not a lie.

    89. (#246) Well, somehow I managed to get something in for all these 5 days... usually just at the last minute *sighs* I'm really just not cut out for events like this yet I guess.

      Thank you very much for all the trouble you've gone through and all the effort you've put into this event, Phoe. It's been fun.

    92. OK, I've finally fueled up and relaxed with an episode of my favorite show. Let's get back to the reviews.

      @Trekkie2063
      Well, the journey had to end eventually, as was the case with this event. I'm sure all of us would be feeling this way.

      @Royal Haste
      What a way to end the battle. With an epic scene like this. Well done.

      @Kenmdrt
      Kind of a depressing home coming if you ask me. All the same, great job.

      @Birdmaster
      LOL. Only Pinkie would be able to see the funny side of the war. Is it safe to assume Rarity's injuries are all in her head? Overall, this pic is so awesome.

      @Trixie987
      Aww. So happy to see Trixie getting some love.

      ReplyDelete
    93. Also: I'm fairly sure THIS time I'm the only Final Fantasy reference in the group.

      And five days with no comments, Phoe? I give ya five days of Final Fantasy and not one peep? Must not have any Final Fantasy in that "epic" game collection you have.

      HAHA I jest, I jest. Much love for all the hard work you put in for this event. Looking forward to the next one!

      Please stand by, I think I'll be done after the new ep tomorrow

    95. #7 here. i think i did pretty good seeing as before this event started ive never drawn a pony befor. only monsters and robots. im also over on my deviantART working on a colorized version of my picture (though i only have MS-paint to do so)* sigh* though now that i think about it i wish i could go back and redo my entry . . . i just got an idea in my head that made me shed a tear. I think with what I have learned here im going to draw it anyway as an alternate ending .

      ANYHOO back to working on warhammer 40k space marine MLP:FIM themed army ^ ^ pinkie pie dreadnought really needs to get painted. Here is a link to my profile check out my gallery and leave some comments . . . if you don't mind that is. I would really appreciate it ^ ^

      http://lazzyx.deviantart.com/

      THANK you Phoe for throwing this event because before this started I though I could never EVER draw a pony. Thank you again for proving me wrong. I would also like to thank all the Bronies who participated and shred there art. It was all awesome ^ ^

      @HansHDsoldier
      Glad to see this fellow and his brother made it out alive. Nice way to bring closure from the last picture.

      @professionalbrony
      Uh-oh. This can't be a good sign. Tell me he still makes it back home!!

      @MyBoyJ
      Haha. Now that is a clever play on the Odyssey. Way to play on Soarin's assumed weakness.

      @Fallen Angel
      Wake up, Spike! She's home! She's home! You couldn't have made it clearer how much Spike misses Twilight. Bravo. :D

      @Artsie Bee
      Aww. That's the homecoming I think all of us would like to come to after having survived war.

      @Muffinsforever
      I find this to be quite moving. He seems to have so much on his mind. And why not, considering what he's coming back from.

    97. @Phoe
      I pondered why you jumped the gun. Heh.

    98. So many ponies lost along the way... We should have a moment of silence for those that couldn't be with us today.

    99. #251 here, my dev page is:
      http://grubbustheunclean.deviantart.com/#/d4ntlg7
      Thought I would give some feedback to those who asked.

      @SolidSt33d-277
      You've got the drawing down for the most part. The eyes are a bit flat, though. Eyelids will buldge in the direction the eye is looking because of the cornea (it's a transparent part-sphere over the iris). Also, a little bit of time squaring the panels and odd presentation work will go a long way.

      @mylittlepwny-266
      Pretty good for just pencil and notepaper. But I would recommend outlining with a good pen (on new paper!). Also, the pose is a little strange, with the right leg up and left straight down. I'm not sure if hes falling back or jumping up. Maybe a rough sketch can help you work it out.

      You sir, have impressed me greatly with this piece.



      Long day and I just came home feeling tired. In a way I feel like all these ponies. Of course my day was full of classes and D&D, not a war! (Though my OC Pony did participate in the war.)

      Who want's an end-of-war hug? Anypony? …oh, right, stupid internet can't send hugs.
      Nevermind. Welcome home everypony. A lot of you had some touching images. Me? I can't do sensitive. I made a joke referencing a TV show. We fought hard and kicked plot! I even made a new friend in this event!

      'Till next we meet! On the field of battle! …Or anywhere really.

    102. Still more.

      @Iomma
      Why do you have to move me to tears, man?! So touching.

      @FreedomChannelBA
      Nice way to fit Lauren into the event. Though I must ask: Is that a severed head, or am I looking at it wrong?

      @Slowter
      I'm sure there were plenty of kisses going around after the war. Way to capture one such instance. That is, great drawing.

      @Dusty Fortune
      Another one of those touching pieces. Interesting style

      @Tosxychor
      Talk about making a grand homecoming. Very cool.

      ReplyDelete
    103. @MyBoyJ Thanks for taking a look. Really enjoyed yours as well. Clever play on the Odyssey.

    104. #273 here, (forever alone derpy), and we should do these things more! I usually only have a reason to draw when I'm in school and my english paper looks too blank, but having a topic and seeing everybody's art and different takes on this was amazing. Seriously, get like a once-a-month thing going with a theme, because drawfriends are good for art, but this community insight and collaboration of sorts was really fun. We could continue this with other topics, too; cooking, music, writing, anything creative and readily accessible to the masses.I'm rambling.

      TL;DR, this was fun, let's do it MOAR.

    105. #26 here, and i cannot stand pinkie's hair, ugh!

    106. Phoe, we ARE doing a full scale one of these again in the summer...
      Right?

      ReplyDelete
    107. As I looked through this last batch of art, I felt my heart begin to melt, like snow under a warm spring sun.

      This has been a delight to watch. Even though I didn't do dilly-squat to participate in it, I enjoyed seeing so many different perspectives on this subject. You guys really are creative.

      A few quick highlights:

      #15: This touched my heart in a very special way. I think it can apply to all troops, in any world, either this one or a make-believe.

      #17: This made me chortle. Way to end a war, eh? Phoe, you might wanna get in on this...

      #223:





      ...I really don't know what to say. I've looked back at this one about 3 times now and I still can't get over how extremely well done it is.

      The art is superb and the story it tells is very deep. This is arguably my favorite piece out of the entire competition.

      Truth be told, there was a lot of thought-provoking art in this last day of the competition. A lot of this stuff strikes very close to human life, in the happy times, the sad times, and the bittersweet times. I counted about 10-12 pictures that had really solid ideas for excellent fanfics on this page alone. You guys really think more than an inch deep on these topics!

      All that to say: Well done, all of you.

      Well done.

    108. I'm really upset I coudn't send mine in, I got the scanner working an was going to color it when my connection to the Internet died.

    109. Hm, looks like I didn't have much to come back to. But with the extra submissions now posted, the Mock War Training Grounds are officially over. I want to thank all of you who participated for even one day, and to everypony who took time out of their day to come and see these artists' hard work and leave comments for them.

      I'm so proud of all of you, my faithful students. I can't wait to see how you grow!

      (I got lazy, and implied she was running away from earth, so i only had to draw the flank.)

    119. We need to have more of this!!! More Drawing assignments! challenging us to be creative and driving us to do better!

      my #36 is for anyone thats played WoW :D was just going for a random reference when i was trying to figure out what to draw

    120. Well, now that I'm finally back home at my computer, I'm glad to find that Phoe has enjoyed my series so much!

    123. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now...waiting for a mission...getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Garry squats in the clouds, she gets stronger. Each time I looked around the walls moved in a little tighter.

    125. This was a very cool event! I only managed to get something finished for days 2 and 3 but I think I'll keep working on my day 5 anyway.
      Many thanks to Phoe and everypony else who made it possible.

      P.S. My little pony definitely stayed in Equestria after the war :)

    127. #91 - I don't have words to describe how fun this has been and I can say I have learned a bit from it, but most importantly I've seen so much amazing artwork from this fandom. I hope everypony had as much fun as I did and that we may do this again sometime.

    131. #53 here. If Phoe is making the comment about crying because my work sucks, I don't blame her. If she's not, I have no idea why she'd make such a comment.

      I just realized that I posted with the wrong account. Now everyone on the site can know my RL name.

      I'm posting this to clarify that the statement was intended to be from this account, which is the one I was posting art from.

      I'm beginning to wonder if there's anything I can do right. :I

    133. Late stuff? Oh hey, late stuff was added!

      ReplyDelete
    134. @Phoe
      Don't worry, I DID see 294. Good to know I at least made it in with the late entries!

      Also, t'was sarcasm with the crying bit. Sorry if I made you worry. Thanks for caring, though! Even if I missed the day 1 resubmission and day 2 even though both were done from the first attempt, wasn't able to properly finish day 3, and finally missed day 5 by 18 MINUTES AND 32 SECONDS RAUGH, I still had a lot of fun with this. And considering I couldn't draw ANY ponies before this, and could draw what I did for the final entry, I think the Artist Training Grounds did it's job. Thanks for putting up my late entry, and especially for running this whole thing.

    137. I've been scribbling on my tablet with gusto almost non-stop except for a short 3 hour sleep and to watch the new ep. But I'm finished now!

      It's not much, but it's something. I hope Phoe sees this, for obvious reasons.

      Here's the link:
      BAM!

      Thanks for your hard work on organising the event and running it, Phoe. And many thanks to Reinboom for the script.

    141. Glad my totally awesome wallpaper was able to cover for that clumsy letter. It sounded so much better rattling around in my head, while walking my dog, 2 hours before the deadline. Sorry for this late commentary, but have some anyway!

      #22 concludes the very entertaining .... uh, continuity for Cloverjump's entries! Alas, he must depart for the time being; for his services are required on the planet of his birth.
      #25 reminds me of scratchboard! Nice effect.
      #31 has got some nice colors/lighting going on to complement the Dutch angle.
      #47 Poor Rarity!
      #54 I like how the portal itself is invisible, but the pony is refracted by it like ripples in a pond.
      #60 maybe you're right, maybe Angel isn't as much of a jerk as he seems.
      #61 so that's how pony crutches work.
      #62 did you just draw a mechanical flying carpet?
      #67 wait til she's treated to a bowl of toast. Those bandages will be as nothing!
      #70 got hope, gladness, and loss all in one go.
      #85 nice to see that the Pie family hasn't been forgotten!
      #95 what a tweest!
      #110 it's what the professionals do! That's for layout artists to sort out.
      #123 "We couldn't fit it all in!"
      #139 nice linework!
      #159 nicely done! I can never get my pencils to get even that even and smear-free.
      #161 somepony's waiting on the other side!
      #172 OBEY READ AND PLAYVIDeogamesIguess?
      #198 a fine end to a clever angle on this ATG.
      #204 shows us that when one side loses a mock war, there are no winners; we're all the losing-er for enjoying someone's defeat.
      #LONGPOST IS LOOOOOOOOONG
      #207 your whole Seapony direction is giving off a bit of a Deep Ones vibe. Don't know if that was intentional or not.
      #210 all I can think is PONY PULLS THE WAGON! No but seriously, I like how you're building these up around stick figures to get the orientation of the figures right.
      #212 Alert, alert! Molestia spotted!
      #213 I know that feeling!
      #246 d'awwww!
      #251 if there's one thing I like about grimdarkers, it's the ability to poke fun at themselves.
      #282 I think TapeDiggity deserves a lot of credit for doing something different every day, and pulling it off well every time. That's what I like to see from fellow brony artists!
      #294 you're awesome for making a four-footed motorbike. Got the idea from Pinkie's crazy contraption?
